I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Burton Joyce. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in January. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. Some lenders would take a sensible view as this clause primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
Is it the case that all Burton Joyce CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the UBS conveyancing list of approved firms?
A selection of banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Burton Joyce solicitor on the Yorkshire BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Burton Joyce I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Burton Joyce suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
